Mandy outlined all the consistency issues.  In my team’s experience, it has been battery assuming the robot is not changing.   The team would start with a fresh battery and as the practice went on, things that were working would stop working.  They would make adjustments.  Once the battery was charged, the stuff that was working stop working.  After experiencing this rinse and repeat cycle, we now limit programming practices to one hour.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Robot consistancy

 

Hello,

 

I seem to have this trouble each year.  The robot will be doing just fine.  Then suddenly the programs that were working fine now are not working the way they were programmed.  And it seem to happen about the same time during the tournament season, only it is with a different set of kids each time.  Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot these issues?
